Anyone every fitted a stronger spring to the throttle pedal? I find the pedal far too light on the Bosch, it actually hurt my shin muscles (medical term, i'm an educated type) trying to balance my foot on the throttle on the motorway.
Feels weird with a heavy clutch and light throttle, I imagine myself turning into the legs equivalent of the hunchback of Nostre Dame.

Ever had the lid off the pump or would the person you bought it have done anything? Just wondering if the spring wasnt put back on properly, meaning the arm tension is much lower than it should be.....

Not stripped the pump yet. Cable is about 12 months old, stolen from the gti.
Maybe I should just plant my foot all the time?
Come to think of it, the black thing on the throttle arm is as far away from the pump as possible. Should probably move that.
